REMOTE CONTROL PRO FOR SONY/CANON 523PRO
The 523PRO remote control works with both Sony and Canon LANC-enabled video cameras. The remote control features a record/stop button, a power
on/standby button, three different zoom speed control buttons (slow, medium and fast) and a push auto focus button. The zoom wheel can be used to control one of the three preset, maximum zoom speeds or a customisable maximum speed which you can set to exactly the level you want. For all zoom speeds except the slowest preset speed, you can choose between progressive zoom speed (the further you rotate the zoom wheel, the faster the zoom) or fixed
zoom speed (irrespective of the rotation applied to the wheel, zoom speed remains constant) by pressing the button once (progressive) or twice (fixed). The
LED shows you which speed you have selected. To set a “custom” zoom speed, simply hold the zoom speed button until the LED flashes and use the wheel
to set your speed. The setting remains in the unit’s memory until you decide to change it. Whether you choose a limited progressive zoom range or a single
fixed speed, the features of the 523PRO mean you can easily repeat zooms precisely in subsequent takes of the same
shot. The 523PRO also allows you to set left- and right-handed operation by changing zoom wheel direction.
The push auto focus button makes it very easy to achieve in focus images when working in manual focus mode.
You can also use the manual focus in and out buttons and change the focus direction. 523PRO does not come
with any parts to fit to the head, but instead utilizes the pan bar clamp that comes with all Manfrotto heads.
The 523 is the only
semi-professional video remote
system available on the market
today that uses a professionaltype “wheel” zoom for finer
adjustment and smoother
progressions
Telescopic pan bar allows you to
choose the most comfortable
working position
Zoom wheel direction and focus
direction can be inverted (left –
right or right – left)
Only system with jack connector
rather than built-in cable means
the camera cable can be easily
substituted
Incorporation of the remote
controller with the video head pan
bar ensures sturdy attachment
and eliminates mechanical
problems

REMOTE CONTROL FOR SONY 522
The 522 allows you to remotely control the most commonly used functions of your video camera while keeping your hand on the pan bar at all times
for greater control over framing and camera movement. The functions depending on camera models and brand (SONY/CANON) can include switching
between on and standby mode, starting and stopping recording, zooming in and out (using a professional variable speed zoom wheel for finer
control), manual focusing or switching to auto focus, accounting for backlit subjects, fading in or out, record search and taking a still photograph.
The 522 also allows you to switch between left – right and right – left zoom, especially useful for left-handed Videographers. It has an LED power
indicator and comes supplied with a 90cm long camera connection cable that plugs into the remote controller (which allows you to change the cable
quickly and economically should it become damaged) and video camera LANC socket via a 2.5mm stereo jack. The 522 system is built in on a
standard pan bar and comes with all parts necessary for quick and easy fitting (without tools) to any of Manfrotto’s professional video head. 522 does
not come with any parts to fit to the head, but instead utilizes the pan bar clamp that comes with all Manfrotto heads.

Same features as the 522, with a pan bar and fitting suitable for Manfrotto
video head models 700RC2 and 701RC2.

REMOTE CONTROL FOR PANASONIC 522P
The 522P is a dual circuit, progressive zoom remote control unit for the Panasonic AG-DVC-30, AG-DVC80 and AG-DVX100A. Built into a video head
pan bar suitable for Manfrotto models 501, 503, 516, 519 and 316. The dual circuit allows you to choose between a zero power consumption
“analog” mode for basic functions (record/stop and progressive min-max zoom via a professional zoom wheel) and a 3 AA (1.5 volt) battery-powered,
advanced, customisable “digital” mode. The digital mode gives you the record/stop function, and the zoom wheel can be used to control one of three
preset maximum zoom speeds or a customisable maximum speed which you can set to exactly the level you want. The “custom” zoom speed setting
remains in the unit’s memory even when batteries run down, until you decide to change it. In addition, for all options except the slowest preset speed,
you can choose between progressive zoom speed (the further you rotate the zoom wheel, the faster the zoom) and fixed zoom speed (irrespective of
the rotation applied to the wheel, zoom speed remains constant) by pressing the button once (progressive) or twice (fixed). An LED shows you which
speed you have selected. The 522P also allows you to set left- or right handed operation by changing zoom wheel direction. 522P does not come
with any parts to fit to the head, but instead utilizes the pan bar clamp that comes with all Manfrotto heads.
Only control unit on the market
that not only has the standard
basic “Analog” mode, but also a
full-featured “Digital” mode with 3
zoom speed presets, a fourth
“personal” speed setting, and
progressive or fixed speed
zooming
522P is mounted on a telescopic
video head pan bar for sturdy
attachment, comfortable
positioning and fingertip control
Professional zoom wheel with
excellent build quality gives finer
control over progressive zoom
speeds
Only system with jack
connector instead of built-in
cable, so it can easily be
substituted, lengthened or
shortened.
